Expert Welding and Fabrication Services Guide

Metal fabrication is the process of building metal structures by cutting, bending, and assembling, while welding is the joining technique that fuses metal parts together using heat. Welding forms the critical connection points in fabrication, creating permanent, strong bonds. Modern fabrication employs various welding processes—TIG, MIG, laser, and plasma—each suited to specific materials, thicknesses, and precision requirements. At Wintegral, we combine advanced welding technologies with precision fabrication expertise to deliver components from prototype through production scale.

We offer six specialized welding processes: laser welding for ultra-precision work, micro-plasma for delicate components, micro-GT for controlled deposition, TIG/GTAW for aerospace-grade quality, GMAW/MIG for high-productivity applications, and proprietary hybrid processes. This multi-process capability allows us to select the most economical and effective method for each unique application, ensuring optimal results regardless of component size, material, or complexity.

Yes, we provide onsite repair services for moulds and dies at customer facilities when equipment cannot be transported. Our technicians bring portable welding equipment and expertise directly to your location, minimizing production downtime. However, most complex repairs achieve better results in our controlled workshop environment where we have access to all welding processes, precision fixtures, and inspection equipment. We'll assess your specific situation to recommend the most effective approach.

Turnaround time varies based on project complexity, welding process selected, and current workload. Simple repairs may complete within 2-3 days, while complex mould restorations or production welding projects require 1-2 weeks. We provide accurate delivery estimates after technical evaluation and prioritize urgent breakdown situations affecting production schedules. For contract manufacturing partnerships, we establish agreed timelines that align with your production planning.

Absolutely. We specialize in supporting R&D teams, product development, and prototype welding where design is still evolving and technical collaboration is essential. Our engineering support includes welding feasibility analysis, process development, fixture design, and iterative refinement. We work closely with your team to validate welding approaches before scaling to production, offering both contract welding services and complete technology transfer for in-house capabilities.

We weld a comprehensive range of metals including various grades of stainless steel, aluminum alloys, titanium, carbon steel, tool steels (H-13, P-20, D2, M2, S7), and specialty materials like beryllium copper. Our material expertise extends across ferrous and non-ferrous metals, with process parameters optimized for each alloy family. For unique or challenging materials, we conduct weld trials to validate procedures before production.

Yes, we maintain NADCAP-compliant GTAW welding procedures for aerospace and defense applications, with AWS-certified welders and documented welding procedures. All repairs include inspection certificates for critical parameters like concentricity and straightness. While we serve regulated industries including medical and aerospace, we recommend confirming specific certification requirements for your application during the initial consultation.

Welding repair typically delivers 60-80% cost savings compared to manufacturing new tools, moulds, or components, while dramatically reducing lead times from months to days or weeks. Savings vary based on the component's original cost, damage extent, and repair complexity. Beyond direct cost reduction, repair eliminates production downtime waiting for new tooling and preserves proven, production-qualified components. We provide detailed cost comparisons during quotation to help you make informed decisions.
